Can you imagine living in a place with 2 people per square kilometer?
Imagine you're planning a road trip across a vast, empty country. You'd be surprised how empty it is, with hardly anyone around to meet along the way.
In Mongolia, the vast land stretches far and wide, but there's only a handful of people to share it with. This makes it one of the most sparsely populated places on Earth.
Example
If you walked across Mongolia's entire area, you'd likely not encounter another person.
Remember this
The idea to remember is that Mongolia's immense size results in extremely low population density.
